Aryca Loh, lost her bus pal in a minibus crash on her way to Pei Chun Public School. 

She suffered facial bruises & cuts on both knees. According to the Straits Times:

'When she saw herself in the mirror, Aryca was traumatised by the bruises on her face and was reluctant to have her photograph taken.'

'The left side of Aryca's face was badly bruised, especially above the eyelid. She also had a deep cut on her right leg which needed stitches.'

For heaven's sake, the girl is only 6 years-old. 

:(

Unfortunately..

Russell Koh, 8. Wasn't that lucky. 

'But on Thursday morning, two cars crashed into the minibus they were in, jerking its rear door open and causing the boy to be hurled out.'

Effects of the situation:

Russell had 2 other siblings. Both sisters. Aged one and four. 

'His elder daughter misses Russell and "wants him to wake up and talk to her".'

'His mother, Teri, 38, was too distraught to be at the mortuary. But at his wake at the Singapore Casket, she clung to his coffin, sobbing uncontrollably.'

This is the headlines for Today's Newspaper on The Straits Times.

Life and Death.

I woke up this morning, walked out of my room, into the hall. Found this news article lying on the coffee table & i almost teared. For one death, it caused the hearts of many to be broken. When will people start taking responsibility over life and death? 

This incident made me realized how selfish man-kind can be. What happened to the other 2 cars? Nothing. No injuries. Nothing.

How unfair. & a lil' boy aged 8, had to leave this world for one mistake the drivers made? 

What about HFMD? This has only proven that as parents, they shouldn't leave their children in other's care. Leaving them at CHILDCARE, would only harm them & endanger their lives in fear of being contracted by HFMD. Leaving them at the hands of school bus drivers would also endanger them. 

I don't know about you guys, but i definitely am not leaving my child at either of the above. 

Sigh. 

This made me cherish my life even more.

Perhaps the death of one, may bring life to many. 

Before thinking about suicide, perhaps we should give thanks to God for the life He has given to us. Never again, will i want to hurt myself. 

Thank you Russell for bringing this light.
